This workshop will provide participants with the skills they need to build and present a business case for change, including measuring return on investment (ROI) in different settings. After a didactic portion to review the business case for simulation, participants will work in groups to develop a mini business case on the provided scenarios with a focus on both practice and academia.

In this interactive workshop, participants will gain knowledge of the TeamSTEPPS® constructs with specific emphasis on the impact of closing communication gaps. Learners will explore and develop effective I-SBARR simulations and assignments for pre-licensure students and nurses.
